it allows people that have miss in the years to have one last chance to get it.

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I don't understand all the uproar over exclusive items not being exclusive because this is most probably all there is to it. Next year they'll have completely different special events and if they do anything similar for the 2nd year anniversary it'll probably be a recap of those events not Lightning, etc. They won't have any reason to bring Lightning back at that point, and if they just keep doing the same events over and over it'll just get stale. They already have seasonal events for that.

And tbh Lightning is great and all, but if Yoshi, etc. pay attention to the forums they'd know that plenty of us want to see other FF characters brought to life in Eorzea, too. I would think they'd act on that rather than keep bringing the same content back over and over again. :3

I hope she comes back, one of my favorite FF characters! :D

May I ask why? I promise not to attack you for it but I would genuinely like to know what attracts you to her character.

Ive actually been wondering this... I loved FFXIII-2 for sure. Serah was waay cooler than light ^_^
But then I have to wonder, if there is a reason to this event, why Dragon Quest and FFXI as well, Do they have something up their sleeve for those as well I wonder?

I know I liked her too. I liked her design and her attitude. At least in XIII. I really liked how she was trying to fight back the curse she and the party had. I remember my favorite qoute she said I think it was in Dissdia. Might have been XIII but I can't remember. It was "I'll decide my fate!" I really liked that. Cause of the situation she was in she never gave up even when the party's situation was hopeless. She was really awesome to me in the original XIII. XIII-2 I didn't see much of her and XIII-3 she was mostly "Serah, Serah" but I still thought she was cool. She still managed to defy the large odds she had which I really liked. Also she looked cool and I like how she fought with her weapons. Sorry if my reason sucks. But I really do like Lightning.

I guess it was because she didn't take any crap back then. I did grow up around Cloud and stuff but Lightning stood out to me alot more than he did.

I dotn get why people dont like Lightning (aside from her showing up everywhere) because she personifies all that is what it means to be a modern person today: eff fate, ill do what I want how I want.

Vaan was sort of like that too. And yet people despise him at best. It's not enough to be "what it means to be a modern person".

I know I liked Sazh way more than any other FFXIII character, because he had something more than "uh I don't like my fate"
(OK tbh, it's just because he had that baby chocobo)

Last I heard, they specifically said they weren't doing it again when asked. There's no chance at getting the gear or hairstyles ever again. They are now unobtainable.

Letter from the Producer XVI had a slide showing that they are indeed bringing them back.

well everything about her, but one thing and that is how overly protective she was for her sister.

I don't hate or like her, she is just the typical "emotionless girl" you see a lot, main reason people like her is because of "cool" factor. but she is being grossly over used by SE, i mean as over popular and cliche as cloud has become since ff7, even he has not had this many different games and lightning is almost a female version of cloud, except she does show SOME form of emotion in the various games she has been in.

Being the overprotective sister is not all that uncommon either, Nothing about her is new or refreshing, it's just it's a female, with male traits.

I thought people hated him because he was pretty much "there for the ride" while Ashe and Basch did all the grownup protagonist stuff.

Clearly, Lightning doesn't want to belong to the FF13 franchise.

SE better of designing these special events to perm stay in game. Forget the 1 time events and just make it a normal special quest.
It isn't hard SE... also remove those special enemies from Fates and just make it a special pop monster that appears during the quest.
Those Fates are so out of place and was happy they were gone.

yay ill be finally able to do this event cuz last time i wasnt level 50 to get all the quests dont for the full set which is really dumb...

If people read the answer to the question it didn't say that the event is coming back only that a costume will be available in a quest in the future. There was no mention of that specific event returning.

First Anniversary Special Events

Special collaboration fates make their return.

......Dragon Quest X
..........Final Fantasy XI
............Lightning Returns: FFXIII


It's right there in the picture.

Oh. Where's this posted at?

About 8 posts above your last post.

Ah, just saw the Japanese and skimmed over it. I hope they loosen the level requirements on the quests this time since 45 seems a bit higher for a level 13 costume.

I wouldn't really expect anything to change. The top is the last part anyway and it's not that great. Most people are only after the hair, weapons, and maybe the bottoms.

Like others have mentioned, put this stuff up for sale from the Calamity Salvager. Last thing I want to see while atma farming or hunting is more Lightning... again. =_=

To obtain a weapon of a class I need to have 45 with that class? I'd like to have all the weapons but I didn't get all classes leveled up.

nah, you need to be lv 45 to do the fates.
the weapons and gear are all lv 13 (lol)

No, you got the tokens for the weapons from the lvl 10 fate, the level 45 fate was for the body armour.
The class you do the fates with do not matter, got all wepons as lancer last time

my bad, it's been so long xD

I'm prolly gonna get Star Seeker for when I decide to get back to leveling up archer. But I don't think I wnat the other weapons (Unless Crystal Silence is available as a option for shields)

I hope someday they add the costumes and weapons from Lightning Returns in the game.

That's my favourite bow. It's simple and has nice colours to it. When I hit 50 I had the Titan bow and glamored it to look like the lightning bow.

Actually I think a Agree with Defteros (With the exception of the Crystal Silence and Dark Discord but those are shields so they don't count as weapons) The modernized cosutimes would look out of place in the medieval fantasy land of Eorzea and the Weapons would be redundant unless they add the aforementioned shields (again not actual weapons) and maybe some knives for Rouges and Ninja (And in that case Noel's weapons would be a better match for knives).

Well I'm glad that I'm wrong, I was always pretty ticked off that I wasn't able to receive the items and hairstyle.

It could be worse- I heard they were contemplating a new Lightning Returns tie-in under the name of 'Hope Springs Eternal'. For the duration of the event Hope would chime in with a 30-second speech every minute or two, no matter where or what you were doing.

(If you didn't play Lightning Returns you can probably just ignore this... or even if you did)

whyyyyy, i want a diferent event not one that i have already done, 1 year aniversary and this is all they r gonna do?

I heard lightning never strikes the same game twice.
But it did so fml lol, but a third time? My god SE are you really that bent on frying your remaining playerbase from the days of old?

No keep lightning in her crappy games and away from XiV!

Maybe. They could have some exclusive events to go along with these repeated events.

Anyway if you want someone to blame for Lightning's Return. You may as well blame me:p.
